Week 2

I am the Environmental Science Director for the county that includes Anytown. By

now, you know about the public health crisis generated by the opioid epidemic not

only in Anytown, but across the country as well. In fact, the opioid crisis can be called

the number one public health issue of our time. In fact, a White House Panel

recommended that this be declared a national emergency (Goodnough, 2017).

But did you know that this crisis and environmental science are connected? How, you

may ask? Let’s look at the environment of a coal mine. Are the working conditions

considered safe in terms of the air quality? One of the most common illnesses for

coal mining workers is called pneumoconiosis, or black lung disease. According to

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, pneumoconiosis occurs when

someone breathes in dust particles, or in this case, coal particles, over a period of

time. It often takes years for the disease to manifest, and when it does, lung

impairment, disability, and even death can occur.

This is an environmental science public health issue because this is a human-caused

disease and can be prevented through proper dust control measures. Because there

is no cure for black lung disease, many residents have turned to opioids to cope. I

need your help with this problem. Put on your environmental science hat and let’s

brainstorm ways to help our community and prevent this horrible condition and its

aftermath.
